    Unions have been successfully neutered by the corporate party (all Republicans and half the Democrats). If they still had power, yes they could stop outsourcing.

    The quality of programming coming out of India is improving rapidly.

    "(software) products without revenue are built in India, products that make money are built in the US".

    40 years ago, you could say "You can go to Japan to buy a hunk of junk, but quality cars are built in the US." and you'd be right!

    Hold on though. If I don't actually look at my coin (leave it spinning). Isn't my friend's coin still spinning? Can't we tell that statistically?

    Let's say we're firing off entangled electrons. We have a splitter based on the spin of the electron. We redirect the split electron beam at the same target. If our friend is *not* measuring spin with his entangled stream, won't our beam interfere with itself? Won't that interference go away if our friend starts to measure?

    We aren't great guys either, but Putin is fighting for Assad, who can compete with Isis evil for evil. The US doesn't want ISIS taken out, because ISIS will cost Putin and the Iranians a lot to defeat. US just doesn't want ISIS overrunning Baghdad.

    Yes, if properly enforced. If we make it more difficult to shoot people, less people will be shot.

    Yes, we did. There were a large number of deaths from accidental shootings in schools, as well as one off murders. There weren't a lot of mass murders. Part of that may be do to the arms available. If you look at the history of shootings in schools, it's mostly some kids .22.

    Christ in a biscuit. GP means guns that put out deadly fire at a high rate. Your lecturing doesn't change the point. Proper handling of guns on your family's part also doesn't change the fact that little Johnny next door will be running fast and loose when he brings his gun to school.

    "When will people understand that only law-abiding people pay any attention to laws? "

    When it starts being true, I suppose? Maybe you should try to understand that criminals do pay attention to the law and it affects their behavior.

    "When will they grasp the concept that labeling something a "gun-free zone" doesn't magically do ANYTHING?"

    Nothing does anything magically. What gun free zones do is reduce accidental and impulse shooting. They don't do much to prevent deliberate mass killing.

    "Criminals will still have guns and they'll still bring them into a "gun-free zone" no matter how many signs are posted."

    It means that if you stop a criminal before he commits the crime, you can get him on gun possession even if you can't prove anything else.
